Authorities said it happened at around 615 p.m. Monday in the 1000 block of Tennant Harbor in Pasadena.

Resident Jennifer Klein and the rest of her family said the noise from the bomb was an earth-shattering shock.

"I just thought it was a firework and my neighbor said she saw smoke right back here and so, the kids went back to look at it and that's when they said there was a bottle back there that looked like it had exploded," Klein said. "It was a huge bang!"

Klein said she called 911 police and fire officials who arrived on the scene investigated. They found evidence of the bomb, but no suspects.

"This is basically an ongoing investigation right now. They're still trying to piece it together to see what happened," Anne Arundel County Fire Chief Steve Thompson said.

Fire officials said these types of explosive devices are becoming increasingly popular lately, including a case last week in which a 6-year-old girl was injured by one on a playground off Fort Smallwood Road in Pasadena. In May, a man in Baltimore County said he found one that exploded in his driveway.

"Unfortunately, it is an ongoing thing. Hopefully it doesn't gain popularity. Unfortunately, people find how to make them in their own ways," Thompson said.

The most popular way is through YouTube, which has a whole bunch of videos showing how to make the bombs and them actually exploding, officials said.

Fire officials said they are made with Draino and other household items, and when they're sealed in a bottle, the pressure causes them to explode.

Klein said she was glad that no one in the neighborhood was hurt considering the amount of children that were playing outside at the time.

"We're always outside with the kids, and they have bike races around the court. It could have just exploded on any kid, so that's the upsetting part about it," Klein said.

Police are also trying to figure out if the case is connected to a similar incident in Pasadena last week.
